Vinicius Jr Saudi salary: Real Madrid to get THIS astonishing transfer sum for Brazilian winger, claims report

If Vinicius Junior and Real Madrid decide to part ways this summer, Saudi Pro League (RSL) teams will jump in with world-record transfer offers which could surpass PSG's historic bid for Neymar by at least £100 million, a report said.

 

Vincius Jr to leave Real Madrid?

 

The cash-rich clubs are once again eagerly preparing to pounce if an opportunity arrives after Real Madrid reportedly stalled the contract extension talks with Vinicius Jr. The 25-year-old Brazilian, who finished last year's Ballon d'Or race only behind winner Rodri, has asked the club to make him their highest-paid player. However, Real Madrid are unwilling to accept his terms as they are not willing to pay him more than what Kylian Mbappé gets, reports said.

Vinicius Jr, who joined Madrid back in 2018 from Flamengo, has a couple of years left on his current contract. Real initiated fresh talks with the winger to extend his stay at the club until 2030. After Vinicius Jr demanded around £26.1 million, including a renewal bonus in the new deal, the Los Blancos decided to hit the pause button, The Athletic said. The club was reportedly willing to pay him a considerable increase from his current salary, which is around £8.7 million net per season, but not more than Mbappé's £13.05 million.

 

How much money will Vinicus Jr make in Saudi?

 

Since Real Madrid will not tolerate Vinicius walking away as a free agent in 2027, they will certainly sell him for a hefty asking price if the issue is not resolved. It is such a scenario that Saudi is preparing for, TalkSport pointed out in a report. If Vini is available on the market, the RSL are set to offer a sum around the £302 million region to Real Madrid. It is said that Al Ahli is most hellbent on roping in the Brazilian with a lucrative deal. When PSG bought Neymar from Barcelona in August 2017, the amount shelled out was £193.14 million.

Vini will be offered £864 million, including bonuses, across a proposed five-year contract sent in writing as a non-binding bid, TalkSport added.

 

Vinicius Jr had earlier confirmed that he is open to playing football at some point in his career but not when he is still in his prime. He had categorically claimed that his preference was to remain with the Los Blancos in Europe so that his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or remain realistic.

The arrival of Kylian Mbappé from PSG and the plan to build another Galacticos squad had diminished his alpha aura but he remains an integral part of the team. From 322 appearances across competitions, Vini has so far scored 106 goals and provided 83 assists.
